THLURMAN ON 'lifE WAR.
What He ThInkv o1 the Retaliation Bill and or
the President.
"Do you auticipate a collision with Can
ada or Great Britain?"
"Hardly. Such a thing i; possible. but
not probable. Negotiations will eventually
intervene."
"What do vou think of the course (f the
Canadian government '"
"Waiving the eersideration of all treaty
rights. stipulations and restrictions, and
loking at the naked facts as !hey eXist.
Canada exhibits a very unfriendly spirit,
and is anything but neighborly."
"The Senate bill. as well as the House
bill, conferred a very wide discretion upon
President Cleveland, did it not'?"
"I have only read them in a general way,
but the Senate bill seemed quite as sweep
ing in conferring discretion and grave re
sponsibilitV utpo the President as the
House bill, except as to the railway trans
portation. .l.c.
"Isn't it something unusual for pohuemus
to confer such important powers upon an
opponent as the Senate bill sought to con
fer upon President Cleveland?"
"It is not the usual thing, and I rather
suspect that the Republican Senators
thought that they could use this retaliatory
bill in the Presidential campaign of 188S."
"Use it how ?"
"Well, if Preident Cleveland exercised
his discretion and precipitated a collision,
he would be held responsible: if he didn't,
and the dispute lingered along in statu quo,
they would hold him responsible for that."
"They proposed to catch him coming or
goin('
Nery likely."
"What are the chances of catchimg him
in the event a retaliatory measure is finally
agreed on?" .
"Rather slim, indeed. The wide discre
tion proposed would be wisely and safely
lodged in President Cleveland's hands. lie
is a man of great courage. and this courage
is backed up by a level head. As great
and grave as are the discretionary powers
embraced in either of the measures, the in
terests of the country would be safe in the
President's hands. He has courage, cooi
ness and wisdom."-Cincinnati Commercial

AGRICULTURAL REPORT.
The Quality of the Corn Crop Compara
tively High-The Theat Crop Good.
WAsmfNGToN, March 10.-The March
report of the Department of Agriculture
of the distribution of wheat and corn
shows that 36 .er cent. of the crop of
corn is still in-the farmers' hands, a
smaller proportion than in March, 1885
and 1886, but larger than in 1884. The
estimated remainder is 603,000,000 bush
els. The estimated proportion held for
home consumption is 137,000,000 bush
els, leaving 288,000,000 bushels for trans
portation beyond county lines. The pro
portion of merchantable corn is 86 per
cent, making the quality of the crop
comparatively high, 80 being the average
percentage of merchantable in a series of
pea-rs The amount of wheat on hand is
*11 ver cent. of the crop, or about 12*2,
000,000 bushels, against 107,000,000 last
year, and 169,000,000 in March, 1885,
the largest surplus of the largest crop
ever grown. it is 3,000,000 bushels
more than in March, 1884, and 24,
000,000 bushels more than in 1882 after
the shortest crop of recent years. The
proportion held for local consumption is
194,000,000 bushels, and the proportion
to be shipped beyord county lines is
263,000,000bshels. The quality of the
arop is unusually good in the priiepal
wheat-growing sections, the average
weight being 58.5 pounds per bushel.
A Lase with a isttory.
The United States Supreme Court has
just rendered a decision in the case of the
heirs of Herman Speidle against Jacob
Henrici, brought on an appeal from the
United States Circuit Court for the Western
district of Pennsylvania which brings to
light an interesting' story. -
In 1801 Geo. Rapp, brought to this
country from Wurtemburg about 50 fami
liers-and settled on the banks of the Ohio
river about 20 miles from Pittsburg. The
company were known as the "Harmony
economists" and the town they fancied was
. called Economy. Rapp not only installed
himself as leader, but informed his follkw
ers that he was their prophet and that they
would jeopardize their salvation if they
failed to turn all their property over to the
~church, he being the self-iamc chur ch.
This was done and then the self-made
prophet issued another edict forbidding
marriage among his subjects. Everything
went smoothly with the colony, and they
flourished and were apparently happy until
the year 1831, when one of their number,
Herman Spiedel, revolted, went to Pitts
burg and married. It was to recover his
portion of the wealth of the "Economy"
society that his heirs brought suit. The
property involved is valued at $30,000,000
and as only about 15 families remaiu all
are in atfluent circumstances. Henrici, the
defendant in this suit, is now 80 years old.
Without going into the merits of the case,
as to whether the society was a proper one
or not. ihe Court held that the complain
ant, Speidel, having allowed his claim to
sleep for half a century, the Court must
Jhold his demand to be a stale claim, and
adlirm the decision of the Pennsylvania
Court.
Mr. Cleveland Talks Business.
The President has been talking about
1888. It happened in this way:
The subject of the inter-State commerce
commissionership was under consideration,
and the issue of polities was brought in.
.Th~.We question was whether a .certain gen
:'mnn whom the President desired to have
pon the commission could afford to ac
-eept. Very frankly the point was made
ihat 3Mr. Cleveland might not be his own
successor, in which even:t the one accept
ing the commissionership for the short
term would serve during the perplexing
and unsatisfactory period that the law was
being put in operationl, and would then, in
all probability, iand himself thrown out.
The gentleman was proceeding to apolo
'efor his plainness of s.peeh, when 3ir.
' eadinterrupted him.
"That is all right; speak frankly. P'oli
tics are very uncertain. I may be renomi
nated and 1 may not. If I am renominated
the election is not sure. If the Republicans
nominate Allison and Hawley, Allison will
evridently carry Indiana. Hawley will
carry Connecticut and New Jer~sey. 1
would expect to carry )re-gon and Califor
mia, but how is it about Virginia and North
Carolina-i"
This is the frankest expression that has
come fronm the President on the stubject of
the next Presidential campiwen.

Reports on the Labor Quetilon.
Two interesting reports of legislative
committees appointed to investigate phases
of the labor question have been lately made
public. One is the report of the commit
'tee of the House of Representatives ap
pointed to inquire into the cause of the
We-tern railroad strikes; the other is the
report of the committee of the New York
Assembly. which has been investigating
the recent coal strike at New York. Both
coniitteus devote some space to a consid
cration of the rights and the limits of
action cf orzanized labor, and both agree
in takii.g a soand view of the matter. Their
conclusion is in effect that, while the right
of a mn or of bodies of men to refuse to
ibor for what they regard as unjust re
muneration is unquestionable, the right of
employers to determine what wages they
.hall pay is equally unquestionable, as is
the right of workmen who desire to keep
oof froni labor associations or combina
tions to dispose of their labor as they please
nd at what rates they please, and that any
co'instraintorintimidationintendedtorestrik t
this freedom of employers and unassoci
ated laborers is improper and unlawful.
The cougressional committee apparently
has no great confidence in the efficacy of
arbitration. while the New York committee
thinks that the board of arbitration in that
State has too little power, and suggests an
increase of the sane.-Bradstreet's.
Another Big Deal.
Tie -New York Tines says that it is au
tho:ized to announce that the control of the
1:iltimore and Ohio railroad has passed into
the hands of Alfred Sully, of New York.
buil. it says, has a written contract by
virtue of which President Robert Garrett
puts him in possession. In an article over
a column long the Timtes says:
"The possibilities of this new control are
bevond estimation. By the acquirement of
the acquirement of theBaltimore and Ohip
rlroad- the one railway of the land that
has ever been considered out of the mar
ket-Sully and his friends become con
trollers of what is probably the most ex
I tensive railway sysfem in the world. It
stretches from New York to almAost all
parts of the South and far into the West.
It includes the Central railroad of New
Jersev, the Philadelphia and Reading sys
tem, the Richmond Terminal, the Rich
mund and Danville pioperties, the East
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia lines, the
Central railroad of Georgia, and now, last
of all. the Baldtimor-e and Ohio. All of
these properties then are to be made one
great trunk line with 16,000 miles of track.
There is no longer to he any question about
how the Baltimore and Ohio road is to get
an entrance to New York. The Jersey
Central and Reading lines give that. The
control of the Baltimore and Ohio Express
and Telegraph Companies is included in
the trausfer."
Thie Times- says that Garrett will remain
as President of the Baltimcre and Ohio
road.

THE NEGRO IN POLITICS.
Some Sagacious Advice to she Cotered People
of the South.
To the Edilor of the Xcer. end Couricr:
Permit me to thank you for the kind 'er
gestion made to President Cleveland to ap
point me to the otice of Register of D)ecds
for the Distriet of Columbia, should the
Senate reject the nocination of Mr. Trotter.
as appeared in your issuse of the :,.1 inst.
I rejoice to see the time coming when inci
dents in the administration of political par
ties will show to the colored man, of the
South especially, that lie must regulate his
politics as white men do. to wit. according
to his best interests and the highest welfare
of the government.
I do not endorse much that the Demno
cratic party has done toward the negro, bt
I recognize the folly of dwelling upon i.
in the face of changed relationh4ips and a
new era in the South. The negro must
leet in the South that line of politics which
will give him protection in his rights. To
say to him that he cannot be protected is
bad as to deny him protection.
Fearing that some may say that this is
written to favor my nomination to the
o!lice, let me say that I know while I write
of Mr. Trotter's confirmation, anl am -;le
of it. Why should a negro Democrat be
objected to by Republicans and a white
accepted I cannot understand. The Repib
publican has done much good for the nc
gro; let it continue in well doing if it will.
but let it remember that its ward is a ian,
a citizen, a thinker and a politiciatn, like its
other members.
In the South it is of especial necessity
that the colored voter should be in co p
ation and harmony with his white fellow
citizen, to the end of peace and prosperity.
politically and industrialiy. Very tirly
yours, D. AucUs-s &rnAumn.
A P'rayer Sent Up for Reporters.
In the Senate this morning Chaplain
Allison 'startled the august body by
closing his prayer with a word for the
newspaper men. He said: "And now,
dear Lord, bless the reporters, -wnose
nimble pens catch our every word almost
before it is uttered. Like thyself, they
are omnipresent and almost omnipotent.
If we take the wings of the morning and
fly to the utmost parts of the earth they
are there. They meet us in the jumngles
of Africa; they waylay us in the solitary
canons of Colorado, and when at length
we find the latitude of the magnetic pole
behold they are there. May their sight
and goodness be equal to their power,
and when the general assembly of heaven
convenes let no reporter be excluded.
Amen!"-'St. Paul Letter in Chicago
Times.
Paying for the Dinners.
There is a mistaken notion that a large
share of the oflicial entertaining at the'
White House is paid for out of a contii
gent fund voted for the purpose. Only the
"Steward of the Household,"- the flirtst.
doorkeepers, ushers, waiters, laborers and
Metropolitans, the furnishing, heating anti
lIghting of the Mansion and maintenance of
the conservatories are paid for out of funds
appropriated. Out of his salary .f 950t,
00) a year the President pays for his chief
and assistants, for all his official (dinners as
well as his private living, the waiters at his
official or unofficial table and the femiahe
domestics in the private parts of the Man
sion. lie also pays out of his own pocket
for his private coachman, footmen and sta
bleen and the care of hsis private horses.
It is a small business for a great nation, bat
such are the drains upon the annual sti
pend allowed the President out the public
treasury.
The Panels for Garlleld'se Tomb.
Casper Buberi, the sculptor, has hinished
the fifth and last model of the panels which
are to be cast and placed on Garfieli's

life size. At either end of the bier stands
a soldier and a Knight Templar. A young
girl stands in the foieground with a wre-ath
in her hand. Trhe first of the panels rep
resents Garhield as a school teacher, the
secontd as a s-)hdier at Chsicamaugai tihe
third as an orator, and the fourth taking the
oath as President. The panels have nit
